Hi all, FreeDOS Interim Build T2212 is now available at https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/>
Mostly, this update consists of improvements to KEYB and 5 other package updates and me tinkering with the GitLab CI/CD to deploy ZIP archive packages that are directly compatible with installation by FreeDOS package managers like FDNPKG.

This is the only “true” error remaining during the build of a release. The error is spread across the these two lines in the error log. 2022-12-01 01:59:47-05:00 package 'opengem', error extracting '/SOURCE/OPENGEM/SOURCES.ZIP/PROGRAMMING TOOLKITS AND UTILITIES AND BUILD TOOLS/atari gem programming library hexaid manual for games.zip' 2022-12-01 01:59:47-05:00 dfab68a6 crc, package error. It would be really nice to get this issue resolved. I don’t know if the package is corrupt, using an incompatible compression or some other issue. I just know it does not extract without having an error. It would be great if someone would look into the problem and possible submit a merge request to fix it in the GitLab archive at https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/gui/opengem <https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/gui/opengem> . Also, I think OpenGem has some configuration issues resulting in low display quality. Once again, the DJGPP packages have been left out for now. We still need to decide what we are going to do in regards to the massive 900+ MB download when they are included. Maybe we should split off development tools to a DevelCD and the GUI’s to a GuiCD. Maybe we should trim down the Release some and just leave a lot of that stuff available from the Update Repository on ibiblio. IDK. However, users tend to get upset when you take away things they use. While anything left out will still be available on the Update Repository and other locations, it is an inconvenience to the end user to fetch them. It can also be difficult to get them onto real hardware for installation. We could take the path many Linux Distros have used. For example, SuSE Linux (forget the exact versions) was released on a 6 CD set. However, it also included a DVD with everything. I kinda like the convenience of having everything we have available easily accessible from a single source media. Maybe thats just me. Thanks, Jerome
